GlideScopedEvaluator - Scoped

The GlideScopedEvaluator API allows you to evaluate scripts in a GlideRecord field from both scoped and global server scripts.

This API evaluates records with script fields defined. The scope of the script is defined by the scope of the record.

GlideScopedEvaluator - GlideScopedEvaluator()

Instantiates a GlideScopedEvaluator object.

표 1. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
None

GlideScopedEvaluator - evaluateScript(GlideRecord grObj, String scriptField, Object variables)

Evaluates a script that resides in a GlideRecord field.

표 2. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
grObj	GlideRecord	GlideRecord containing a script expression.
scriptField	String	Optional. Name of the field containing the script expression.
variables	Object	Optional. Map of variables with name-value pairs. These variables are available to the script during execution of this method.

표 3. Returns

Type	Description
Object	Result of the script execution.

// Setting up a record that contains the script to be executed.
var now_GR = new GlideRecord('u_global_table'); 
now_GR.u_short_description = 'Calculate Addition';  
now_GR.u_test_script = "result = x + y"; 
now_GR.insert(); 
 
var evaluator = new GlideScopedEvaluator();
evaluator.putVariable('x', 100);
evaluator.putVariable('y', 200);
gs.info(evaluator.evaluateScript(now_GR, 'u_test_script'));

Output:

300

GlideScopedEvaluator - getVariable(String name)

Returns a specified variable from a GlideScopedEvaluator object.

표 4. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	String	Name of the variable to return.

표 5. Returns

Type	Description
Object	Value of the specified variable.

The following example shows how to call the getVariable() method to check the value of the answer variable.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
  var grAG = current.assignment_group.getRefRecord(); // Get the GlideRecord of the assignment group
  if (grAG.isValidRecord()) {
    var ge = new GlideScopedEvaluator();
    ge.putVariable("current", current); // Pass through the "current" variable as "current"
    ge.putVariable("group", grAG); // Pass through the "grAG" variable as "group"
    ge.putVariable("answer", true); // default "answer" to TRUE
    ge.evaluateScript(grAG, "u_assignment_condition"); // Run the script

    // Abort the transaction if the "answer" variable was set to FALSE explicitly (undefined doesn't count)
    if (ge.getVariable("answer") === false) { 
      gs.addErrorMessage("Assignment rule did not pass");
      current.setAbortAction(true);
    }
  }
})(current, previous);

GlideScopedEvaluator - putVariable(String name, Object value)

Sets a variable into the GlideScopedEvaluator object. These variables are available to the script that this GlideScopedEvaluator object runs.

표 6. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	String	Name of the variable.
value	Object	Value of the variable.

표 7. Returns

Type	Description
None

The following example shows how to call the putVariable() method to set the answer variable to true.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
  var grAG = current.assignment_group.getRefRecord(); // Get the GlideRecord of the assignment group
  if (grAG.isValidRecord()) {
    var ge = new GlideScopedEvaluator();
    ge.putVariable("current", current); // Pass through the "current" variable as "current"
    ge.putVariable("group", grAG); // Pass through the "grAG" variable as "group"
    ge.putVariable("answer", true); // Set default "answer" to TRUE
    ge.evaluateScript(grAG, "u_assignment_condition"); // Run the script

    // Abort the transaction if the "answer" variable was set to FALSE explicitly (undefined doesn't count)
    if (ge.getVariable("answer") === false) { 
      gs.addErrorMessage("Assignment rule did not pass");
      current.setAbortAction(true);
    }
  }
})(current, previous);
